People Looking for Peers!!??

[foxy6800]

What does it mean when people say they are looking for peers?
Why do they ask for a C-line?

Thanks

Looking for peer means you are looking for someone to share/exchange your lines with.

Lets say you have Viasat and i have Canal digital. We can become peers and exchange our lines with each other so we both have viasat and canal digital.

Thanks for reply duhoki,

I understand now, and get it why they ask for active c-line.
I read somewhere that there are people out there that setup a server and by using this method populate their server without owning any cards?! is this likely to be true?

Thanks

In normal case people limits c-line Exchange only for peers (dist 1), It is not regoular to make reshare without prior peer consent.
And at each step the signal degrades.

Thank you very much for reply guys.
So it all depends if the original server put a limit on the number of hops?
Is the signal degrades due to the fact that it needs to go long way to reach its destination as suppose to have direct contact?

If you have a cline and you share beware your cline could become useless, your provider can tell if you are sharing, and if a line of hear you can be banned from the forum also.

Sorry if my replies don't make sense, I am very new to all this and English is not my first language. Please feel free to close this thread as my question has been answered and explained very well by wonderful members here.

I have read the forum rules and I understand and not sharing lines from here with anyone. I was only trying to understand the different terms like Peers, Hop.....

Thanks guys
